CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

I am pleased to present the 2013 Annual Report for Jupiter Energy Limited (Jupiter Energy or the Company).

 

Over the past twelve months, the Company has continued to focus on the development of the Block 31 licence area with the drilling of three exploration wells in the southern extension of the permit (known locally as West Zhetybai) and with ongoing trial production from three wells in the northern area of the permit. More detail on this activity is contained in the Operations Review section of this report.

 

The prospectivity of our 100% owned licence area continues to improve and on 11 September 2013 the Company announced the results from three independent reserve reports; the outstanding, post period end highlight was that the independent reserve reports for the Akkar East and West Zhetybai fields, prepared as part of the Kazakh State Reserves process, estimated that the combined C1+C2 reserves of these two fields now stands at approximately 102.5 million barrels of recoverable oil, an almost threefold increase from the 2012 State approved C1+C2 figure of 37 million barrels.

 

The Competent Persons Report prepared by McDaniel and Associates estimated reserves from the mid Triassic as follows:

 

· Proved Reserves: 1P 9.7 mmbbls

· Proved plus Probable Reserves: 2P 19.2 mmbbls

· Proved plus Probable plus Possible: 3P 28.7 mmbbls

As part of the work undertaken by McDaniel to establish the commercial threshold of the mid-Triassic reserves, the Net Present Value of the proved+probable reserves using a discounted cashflow model with a discount rate of 10% was calculated as $US304.6m (~$US15.9/bbl) pre-tax and $US222.5m (~$US11.6/bbl) after tax.

 

Also during September 2013, the Company gained all the necessary approvals to complete its listing on the Kazakh Stock Exchange (KASE), meaning the Company's shares will shortly be able to be traded on KASE. With Jupiter Energy's shares already listed on London's AIM Market (AIM) and the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), the Company now has access to investment communities in most of the key jurisdictions that have an interest in Central Asia.

 

Our two major shareholders, the Waterford Group and Soyuzneftegas Capital Limited, continue to show great support for the Company, participating in both the August 2012 Rights Issue and May 2013 issue of $US9m of Series A Convertible Notes. Waterford Group also participated in the September 2013 Series B Convertible Notes. Their holdings remain at 29.5% and 19.8% respectively and the total number of shares on issue as of the date of this report totals 153,377,693.

 

I believe that the Company has a pivotal 12 months ahead of it with a need to focus on both exploration and appraisal drilling as well as to start the building of the requisite infrastructure to allow the Akkar East oilfield to move into Full Field Development phase - a key step in the Company achieving its first sale of export oil.

 

The Board remains confident of the prospectivity of the licence area and that the two oilfields that have already been discovered on Block 31 can be both developed into significant producers.

 

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our employees and shareholders for their continued support over the past twelve months.

 

Sincerely

OPERATING REVIEW

 

This section provides details on the operations of the past 12 months. The key operational events for the year were the drilling, completion and production testing of Jupiter Energy's fifth, sixth and seventh operated wells (J-55, J-58 and J-59) on the southern extension area of Block 31 and the ongoing trial production from the J-50, J-51 and J-52 wells. Details on all these wells are outlined below as are details on other work carried out over the course of the year.

 

 

Well Operations

 

 J-50, J-51 and J-52 Trial Production

 

The J-50, J-51 and J-52 wells all have their trial production licences in place and during year the Company received cash of $US7.549m from the sale of approximately 194,300 barrels of oil at an average price of $US38.85 per barrel.

 

All oil sales were made into the domestic market, as is required under Trial Production, and made through predominantly two local traders. All sales were made on a pre-paid basis, with oil collected by the traders from the well head.

 

The Company announced during April 2013 that the J-50 well had been shut in and an application made for a new gas emissions permit. The improved production from J-50 after the installation of an Electric Submersible Pump in October 2012 meant that the gas emission limit originally approved for 2013 was exceeded earlier than expected.

 

The J-50 well is currently forecasted to return to production in January 2014. In the meantime the J-51 and J-52 wells continue to produce at a cumulative rate of approximately 650 barrels of oil per day (bopd).

 

J-53

 

The J-53 well is located 2.8 km southeast of the J-52 well. The well has been shut in awaiting remedial work to address a water influx that has reduced the overall commercial performance.

 

The work will be carried out a soon as is feasible and it is hoped to bring the well onto Trial Production during 2014.

 

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)

 

The Trial Production Licences for the J-50, J-51, J-52 and J-53 wells have a term of three years and the next step post Trial Production will be the implementation of the necessary surface infrastructure required to develop the discoveries for long term production.

 

J-55 (Southern Extension)

 

The J-55 well was the Company's fifth exploration well and the second of its two 2012 commitment wells on Block 31. The well is located 5.7 km southeast of the J-53 well and is the first well that the Company has drilled on the southern area extension. This area was granted to the Company in 2011 and is located to the south of the already discovered Akkar East oil accumulation.

 

The J-55 well took a total of 55 days to drill and reached a total depth of 3,400m on 29 September 2012. Hydrocarbon shows while drilling, including a core in the reservoir zone, and subsequent open hole wireline logs all indicated hydrocarbons in the Triassic reservoir. The open hole logs indicated good levels of oil saturation and porosity.

 

Analysis by independent consulting firm Reservoir Evaluation Services LLC ("RES") confirmed some 112m of gross reservoir and approximately 60m of net pay at the Middle Triassic carbonate reservoir unit, the primary reservoir objective in the well. The reservoir is located on a separate structure to the Akkar East field. Cut offs of 3.8% porosity and 50% oil saturation were used in the analysis, with a correction for mud filtrate displacement.

 

Initial testing of the J-55 well produced oil with a high water cut post perforation and stimulation of both the T2B and T2A horizons; the origins of the water still needs to be determined with further remedial work.

 

An application for a Trial Production licence will be submitted for the J-55 well as soon as the State Reserves Report for the Southern Extension area has been approved by the relevant authorities. This is expected to occur during the 1st quarter of 2014. An application for further testing work on the well may also be submitted prior to the Trial Production Licence being received.

 

J-58 (Southern Extension)

 

The J-58 well was the Company's sixth exploration well and is located 3.8km southeast of the J-55 discovery well and is the second well that the Company drilled on the southern area extension. The well took a total of 37 days to drill and reached a total depth of 3,320m on 28 November 2012; the performance of the drilling operation was better than anticipated with the well reaching final depth ahead of schedule.

 

Hydrocarbon shows while drilling, including a core in the reservoir zone, and subsequent open hole wireline logs all indicated hydrocarbons in the Triassic reservoir. The open hole logs indicated good levels of oil saturation and porosity.

 

Analysis by independent consulting firm RES confirmed some 152.8m of gross reservoir and approximately 75.6m of net pay at the Middle Triassic T2B carbonate reservoir unit, the primary reservoir objective in the well. In addition RES analysis also confirmed an additional 120.1m of gross reservoir and approximately 52m of net pay at the Middle Triassic T2A carbonate reservoir unit. Cut offs of 3.8% porosity and 50% oil saturation were used in the analysis, with a correction for mud filtrate displacement.

 

Initial production testing of the J-58 well from a 5.5m unstimulated zone in the lower T2B Triassic over a 7 day period with a 9mm choke size, resulted in a flow rate of approximately 1,300 bopd. Testing of the T2A horizon was then carried out and results indicated that no additional inflow from this horizon was achieved. The well was brought back onto production from the T2B horizon for a short period and then shut in on the day that the approved Production Testing period expired.

 

An application for a Trial Production Licence will be submitted for the J-58 well as soon as the State Reserves Report for the Southern Extension area has been approved by the relevant authorities. This is expected to occur during the 1st quarter of 2014. An application for further testing work on the well may also be submitted prior to the Trial Production Licence being received.

 

 

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)

 

J-59 (Southern Extension)

 

The J-59 well was the Company's seventh exploration well and is located 3.8km southeast of the J-58 discovery well and is the third well that the Company has drilled on the southern area extension, alongside the J-55 and J-58 wells.

 

The well took a total of 52 days to drill and reached a total depth of 3,191m on 20 February 2013; the performance of the drilling operation was in line with expectations. Hydrocarbon shows while drilling, including a core in the reservoir zone, and subsequent open hole wireline logs all indicated hydrocarbons in the Triassic reservoir. The open hole logs indicated good levels of oil saturation and porosity.

 

Analysis by independent consulting firm RES confirmed some 102.8m of gross reservoir and approximately 42.8m of net pay at the Middle Triassic T2B carbonate reservoir unit, the primary reservoir objective in the well. In addition RES analysis also confirmed an additional 64.6m of gross reservoir and approximately 40.4m of net pay at the Middle Triassic T2A carbonate reservoir unit. Cut offs of 3.8% porosity and 50% oil saturation were used in the analysis, with a correction for mud filtrate displacement.

 

The permit for testing of the T2B horizon of the J-59 well was issued prior to the completion of the extended testing program on the J-58 well, this overlap of 90 day testing permits resulted in less of the approved 90 day testing period for J-59 being used effectively. The completion and testing of J-59 was commenced in June 2013 and in the limited time available the key focus was to establish the parameters required to provide the required information to enable the completion of the State Reserves Report for the Southern Extension area.

 

During testing oil was recovered to surface and bottom hole samples taken before the 90 day production period expired.

 

An application for a Trial Production Licence will be submitted for the J-59 well as soon as the State Reserves Report for the Southern Extension area has been approved by the relevant authorities. This is expected to occur during the 1st half of 2014. An application for further testing work on the well may also be submitted prior to the Trial Production Licence being received.

 

Independent Reserve Reports

 

The Company is required to complete a Final Reserves Report for the Akkar East oilfield as part of the process of applying for a Full Field Development licence. This report must be prepared by an approved, independent, Kazakh institute and submitted to the relevant authorities for approval.

 

In addition, as part of the Trial Production application process for the J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells, a Preliminary Reserves Report needs to be completed for the Southern Extension area. This report must also be prepared by an approved, independent, Kazakh institute and submitted to the relevant authorities for approval.

 

Both these reports are prepared using the Kazakh classification system of reserves which has been developed from the Russian reserves system which is based on the analysis of geological attributes.

 

In December 2012, the Company also appointed an independent reserves engineering company to undertake an audit of the producing Mid Triassic T2B horizon using the Petroleum Resource Management System ("PRMS") classification system. Under this classification system, reserves are defined as those quantities of oil which are estimated to be commercially recovered from a known accumulation from a given date forward.

The results of these three reports were released to shareholders on 11 September 2013 and are detailed in the "Significant Events after the Balance Sheet Date" section below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)

 

Forward Plan for Drilling Activity

 

The Company is currently reviewing the funding plan for the coming twelve months. Assuming the funding is in place, it is expected that there will be a combination of exploration, appraisal and early development wells drilled.

 

The next exploration well (J-54) is a large structural closure mapped using 3D seismic to the north of the producing East Akkar field. The prospect is believed to be a separate accumulation and the prognosis is that it is structurally up dip of Akkar East. The Company estimates a potential resource of over 20 million barrels of oil associated with this prospect.

 

The Company considers that the main risk associated with the proposed J-54 well is an adequate top seal to trap oil. Assuming success, it is believed that the reservoir quality and flow rates should be similar to that found in the Akkar East field. The current plan is to drill the J-54 well during the 1st quarter of 2014.

 

 

Details on the Exploration and Production Licences

 

The Company expects to submit an application for a further two year extension to the Block 31 Exploration Licence in 2014. The Exploration Licence had an initial 6 year term (ending December 2012) and already has had its 1st two year extension approved to December 2014. This further extension, should it be approved, will take the exploration period through to December 2016.

 

The Block 31 contract also has the right to a 25 year Production Licence and it is the Company's intention to continue exploring on the southern section of Block 31 whilst also applying, during 2015, for a Production Licence for the already discovered Akkar East field in the northern section of Block 31.

 

Prospectivity

As outlined in the Forward Plan for Drilling Activity section of this report, the drilling of J-54 during the 1st quarter of calendar 2014 has the potential, assuming success, for an a further upgrade of Block 31 reserves. The Company believes the prospectivity of Jupiter Energy's Block 31 continues to improve and the Board are confident that further additions to the reserves are achievable.

 

 

Production

 

As outlined above, the J-50, J-51, J-52 and J-53 wells already have their respective Trial Production Licences approved and it is expected that wells J-55, J-58 and J-59 will have their application for Trial Production licences approved during 2014.

 

Total barrels sold under Trial Production during the 2012/13 financial year totalled 194,300 for revenues of A$5,778,057 This represents a 443% increase in revenues achieved in the 2011/12 financial year ($1,063,086).

 

 

Board and Staffing

 

An integrated operating team that has proven in-country experience as well as the capacity to operate major assets is a critical component to success in Kazakhstan. The continued building of such a team has been a major priority over the course of several years and the past 12 months has been no exception.

 

The Board is confident that the Company is well prepared for continued growth over the coming years.

 

 

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

 

Independent Reserve Reports

 

On 11 September 2013 the Company announced the details of three independent reserve estimations that had been carried out on the various accumulations on the Block 31 permit.

 

Two of these reports were State Reserve Reports prepared by independent consulting firm RES. The first of these reports was the Akkar East Reserves Report and this report was prepared as part of the process of moving the Akkar East field into Full Field Development. This review of the Akkar East field was a follow on to the 2012 Preliminary Reserves report prepared by RES submitted as part of the process required to enable the J-50, J-51, J-52 and J-53 wells to be granted their respective Trial Production Licences (TPL's). The Preliminary Reserves report was approved by the Kazakh authorities in June 2012.

 

The second report was the Southern Extension area (known locally as West Zhetybai) Preliminary Reserves Report and this report is the first step towards the granting of TPL's for the J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells.

 

In summary, the Akkar East accumulation covers the area delineated by the J-51, J-52 and J-53 wells and the Oil-In-Place (OIP) for this area has been estimated at ~129 mmbbls with recoverable reserves estimated at ~32.6 mmbbls. The C1 reserves have been estimated at ~10.7 mmbbls and C2 reserves at ~21.9 mmbbls. The recoverable reserves are based on a recovery factor of 27.2%.

 

The J-50 well is part of the Akkar North accumulation and the estimated recoverable reserves for this area are ~8.6 mmbbls (C1 - ~4 mmbbls and C2 - ~4.6 mmbbls) bringing the total recoverable reserves in the area delineated by the wells J-50, 51, 52 and 53 to ~41.2 mmbbls; C1 reserves of ~14.7 mmbbls and C2 reserves of ~26.5 mmbbls.

 

Estimated reserves from the T31, T32 (both formerly known as the Z Sand), T2A and T2B horizons were used in these calculations. The Akkar East Reserves Report has now been submitted to the relevant authorities; the approval process is expected to take three months.

 

The West Zhetybai accumulation covers the area delineated by the J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells and reserves have been evaluated for the T31, T32, T2A and T2B horizons. The OIP for this area has been estimated at ~232 mmbbls (from all four horizons) with recoverable reserves estimated at ~61.2 mmbbls. The C1 reserves have been estimated at ~2.3 mmbbls and C2 reserves at ~58.9 mmbbls; the recoverable reserves are based on a recovery factor of 27.2%.

 

The higher proportion of C2 to C1 reserves indicates the need for (i) further testing of the J-55 and J-59 wells and (ii) general appraisal of the area which may include the drilling of additional wells.

 

RES has submitted the West Zhetybai Preliminary Reserves Report to the relevant authorities; approval is expected to take three months.

 

The third report was a Competent Persons Report (CPR) that was prepared using the Society of Petroleum Engineers Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) classification system; reserves are defined as those quantities of oil which are estimated to be commercially recoverable from a known accumulation from a given date forward.

 

McDaniel & Associates (McDaniel) were engaged to complete this independent reserves audit of only the mid Triassic horizon as identified by wells J-50, J-51, J-52, J-53, J-55, J-58 and J-59.

 

One of the underlying differences between the Kazakh State Reserves classification system and PRMS classification system is that PRMS also considers the commercial uncertainties rather than only geological attributes and therefore the lack of established commercial oil flow from the J-53, J-55 and J-59 wells resulted in the reserve calculations based primarily on production from the T2B horizon from wells J-50, J-51, J-52 and J-58.

 

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)

 

The results, by reserve category, were:

 

· Proved Reserves: 1P 9.7 mmbbls

· Proved plus Probable Reserves: 2P 19.2 mmbbls

· Proved plus Probable plus Possible: 3P 28.7 mmbbls

As part of the work undertaken by McDaniel to establish the commercial threshold of the mid-Triassic reserves, the Net Present Value of the proved+probable reserves using a discounted cashflow model with a discount rate of 10% was calculated as $US304.6m (~$US15.9/bbl) pre-tax and $US222.5m (~$US11.6/bbl) after tax.

 

Shareholders are encouraged to read the 11 September 2013 announcement in full as it contains more details on the differing reserve classification methodologies used by RES in preparing the State Reserve Reports and by McDaniel in preparing the CPR.

 

In summary, the results of both independent reserve audits confirmed the prospectivity of the Block 31 permit.

 

Capital Raising

 

On 23 September 2013, the Company announced details regarding the issue of $US6.5million of Series B Convertible Notes, issued on 20 September 2013. The key terms of these Convertible Notes were as follows:

 

· Term: 3 years

· Conversion Price: $US1.25 per share (maximum of 5.2 million shares may be issued)

· Coupon Rate: 12% per annum, with the interest accruing from and including the Issue Date until the earlier of the Conversion Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date of the Note.

· The Convertible Notes may be redeemed by Jupiter at any time with a minimum of 12 months interest payable if the Convertible Notes are redeemed within the 1st 12 months of their Term

· The issue of the Convertible Notes is carried out under Jupiter's 15% capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1

 

The breakdown of subscriptions for the Convertible Notes is as follows:

 

· Waterford Petroleum Limited: $US1.5m

· Mid Ocean Limited $US0.5m

· Mobile Energy Limited: $US4m

· Other Private Investors: $US0.5m

 

The net cash proceeds of the fundraising was $US3.305m, following the repayment of $US3m of Promissory Notes held by Mobile Energy Limited and the payment of a fee of 3% of the proceeds of the raising ($US195,000) by the Company to Waterford Petroleum Limited for its role in arranging the funding.

 

The net cash proceeds of the fundraising will be used for the following purposes:

 

· Remedial work on J-53: ~$US150,000;

· Further testing of the J-59 well: ~$US350,000 and

· General working capital: ~$US2.805m.

 

The holders of Series A Convertible Notes issued on 31 May 2013 have also agreed to convert their notes to Series B Convertible Notes, effective from 20 September 2013.

 

This means that all interest payable on the entire $US15.5m Convertible Notes now outstanding will be deferred and accrue from and including the Issue Date of the Series B Convertible Notes until the earlier of the Conversion Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date of the Note.

 

DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

 

Except as otherwise set out in this report, the Directors are unaware of any significant changes in the state of affairs or principal activities of the consolidated entity that occurred during the period under review.

 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

 

The Directors will continue to pursue oil and gas exploration and production opportunities in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

As Jupiter Energy Limited is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and London's AIM Market (AIM), it is subject to the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and the AIM Rules for Companies which require immediate disclosure to the market of information that is likely to have a material effect on the price or value of Jupiter Energy Limited's securities. The requirement for continuous disclosure is also required for the KASE.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

 

The consolidated entity is committed to achieving the highest standards of environmental performance. Standards set by the Government of Kazakhstan are comprehensive and highly regulated. The consolidated entity strives to comply not only with all Kazakh government regulations, but also maintain worldwide industry standards.

 

To maintain these high standards the Company is committed to a locally developed environmental monitoring programme. This monitoring programme will continue to expand as and when new regulations are implemented and adopted in Kazakhstan.

 

HEALTH & SAFETY

 

The Company has developed a comprehensive Health and Safety policy for its operations in Kazakhstan and has the appropriate personnel in place to monitor the performance of the Company with compliance under this policy. The Company outsources many of its key drilling functions and as part of any contract entered into with third parties, a commitment to Health & Safety and a demonstrated track record of success in this area is a key performance indicator in terms of deciding on which companies will be contracted.

Remuneration Philosophy

 

The remuneration policy of the Group has been designed to align Directors and executives interests with the shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering long term incentives based on a key performance area - the material improvement in share price performance. The Board of the Group believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate to attract and retain the best executives and Directors to run and manage the Company, as well as create goal congruence between Directors, executives and shareholders.

 

The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows:

 

* The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the Board after a review of similar listed and unlisted companies with activities in overseas jurisdictions and taking into account the experience and skill set required to successfully develop operations in these jurisdictions from early stage development. The Company does not have a remuneration committee. The Board is of the opinion that due to the nature and size of the Company, the functions performed by a Remuneration Committee can be adequately handled by the full Board.

* All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and performance incentives.

* The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company's performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

 

Executives are eligible to participate in the Company's long term performance rights plan.

 

 

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (continued)

 

The executive Directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution as required by the government which is currently 9.25%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

 

The remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares given to Directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the Director or executive. Options are valued using the Black & Scholes methodology. Performance Rights are valued using a hybrid employee share option model. The hybrid model incorporates a trinomial option valuation and a Monte Carlo simulation.

 

Remuneration Structure

 

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

 

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Total remuneration for all non-executive Directors, is not to exceed $350,000 per annum as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 15 November 2010. Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to performance of the Company. However, to align Directors' interests with shareholder interests, the non-executive Directors have been issued Performance Rights which have vesting conditions that are specifically linked to share price performance. Non-executive Directors are also encouraged to hold shares in the company.

 

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies and the potential value provided via the allocation of Performance Rights when undertaking the annual review process.

 

Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. Directors who are called upon to perform extra services beyond the director's ordinary duties may be paid additional fees for those services.

 

Executive Remuneration

 

Objective

 

The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group so as to:

 

- reward executives for Company, business unit and individual performance;

- align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;

- link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and

- ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

 

 

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (continued)

 

Structure

 

In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Board reviews remuneration packages provided by similar listed and unlisted companies with activities in overseas jurisdictions and taking into account the experience and skill set required to successfully develop operations in these jurisdictions from early stage development as well as the salary levels of local workers in that jurisdiction. It is the Board's policy that employment contracts are entered into with the Chief Executive Officer and all key management personnel.

Fixed Remuneration

 

The fixed remuneration of executives is comprised of a base salary and superannuation. The fixed remuneration of executives is reviewed annually.

 

Variable remuneration - Short Term Incentives (STI)

 

The Group operates a STI program for its Kazakh based employees, which is based on a cash bonus subject to the attainment of clearly defined Branch and individual measures.

 

Actual STI payments awarded to each employee depends on the extent to which specific targets are met. The targets consist of a number of key performance indicators (KPIs) covering financial and non-financial Branch and individual measures of performance.

 

Directors are not eligible for participation in the STI program.

 

Variable Remuneration - Long Term Incentives (LTI)

 

Objective

 

The objectives of long term incentives are to:

 

- align executives remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth;

- recognise the ability and efforts of the Directors, employees and consultants of the Company who have contributed to the success of the Company and to provide them with rewards where deemed appropriate;

- provide an incentive to the Directors, employees and consultants to achieve the long term objectives of the Company and improve the performance of the Company; and

- attract persons of experience and ability to employment with the Company and foster and promote loyalty between the Company and its Directors, employees and consultants.

Structure

 

Long term incentives granted to Directors and senior executives are delivered in the form of Performance Rights, issued under the Performance Rights Plan.

 

 

Company Performance

 

Due to the current embryonic stage of the Company's growth it is not appropriate at this time to evaluate the Company's financial performance using generally accepted measures such as EBITDA and profitability; this assessment will be developed over the next few years.

Relationship of Reward and Performance

 

The value of Performance Rights will represent a significant portion of an executive's salary package. The ultimate value to the executives of the Performance Rights depends on the share price of Jupiter Energy Ltd. The share price is the key performance criteria for the long term incentive as the realised value arising from Performance Rights issued is dependent upon an increase in the share price to above the minimum vesting price for the Performance Rights.

Below is a summary of performance conditions for Performance Rights:

The number of Performance Rights vest in proportion to the percentage increase in share price above $0.735 at vesting date. If the share price is less than $0.919 (minimum vesting price) no Performance Rights vest. For 100% of the Performance Rights to vest, the share price of the Company needs to reach $1.47.

In respect of the Vesting Condition, the % increase in the Share price of the Company will be calculated by reference to the volume weighted average price of Shares in the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Expiry Date (31 December 2013). No Performance Rights vest if the calculated share price is less than the minimum vesting price at vesting date. The minimum vesting price was set based on 25% premium to the Company's share price at the original grant date.

Consolidated Financial Statements

AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and UIG-112 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities.

 

The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control.

 

Consequential amendments were also made to this and other standards via AASB 2011-7 and AASB 2012-10.

Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. New disclosures have been introduced about the judgments made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates, structured entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests.

Fair Value Measurement

AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets.

 

AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined.

 

Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-8.

AASB 119

Employee Benefits

The main change introduced by this standard is to revise the accounting for defined benefit plans. The amendment removes the options for accounting for the liability, and requires that the liabilities arising from such plans is recognised in full with actuarial gains and losses being recognised in other comprehensive income. It also revised the method of calculating the return on plan assets.

 

The revised standard changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. The distinction between short-term and other long-term employee benefits is now based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting date.

AASB 1053

Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards

This standard establishes a differential financial reporting framework consisting of two tiers of reporting requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements:

(a) Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards

(b) Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements

 

Tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1 and substantially reduced disclosures corresponding to those requirements.

 

The following entities apply Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements:

(a) For-profit entities in the private sector that have public accountability (as defined in this standard)

(b) The Australian Government and State, Territory and Local governments

 

The following entities apply either Tier 2 or Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements:

(a) For-profit private sector entities that do not have public accountability

(b) All not-for-profit private sector entities

(c) Public sector entities other than the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local governments.

 

Consequential amendments to other standards to implement the regime were introduced by AASB 2010-2, 2011-2, 2011-6, 2011-11, 2012-1, 2012-7 and 2012-11.

AASB 9

Financial Instruments

AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. It was further amended by AASB 2010-7 to reflect amendments to the accounting for financial liabilities.

These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are described below.

 

(a) Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity's business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.

(b) Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument.

 

(c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases.

 

(d) Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows:

 

The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI)

The remaining change is presented in profit or loss

 

If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss.

 

Further amendments were made by AASB 2012-6 which amends the mandatory effective date to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. AASB 2012-6 also modifies the relief from restating prior periods by amending AASB 7 to require additional disclosures on transition to AASB 9 in some circumstances.

 

Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7 and 2010-10.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

(c)

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Jupiter Energy Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year ('the Group').

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a group controls another entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

Subsidiaries and special purpose entities are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Where there is loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting period during which Jupiter Energy Limited has control.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquisition. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values.

 

(d)

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black and Scholes model, trinomial and Monte Carlo using the assumptions detailed in note 21.

Exploration and evaluation

The Group's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in note 2(f). The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves may be found. Any such, estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under the Group's policy, management concludes that the Group is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the income statement.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Provision for restoration

 

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

 

 

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

 

 

Units of production depreciation of oil and gas properties

 

Oil and gas properties are depreciated using the units of production (UOP) method over total proved developed hydrocarbon reserves. This results in a depreciation/amortisation charge proportional to the depletion of the anticipated remaining production from the field.

 

Each items' life, which is assessed annually, has regard to both its physical life limitations and to present assessments of economically recoverable reserves of the field at which the asset is located. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of recoverable reserves. The calculation of the UOP rate of depreciation could be impacted to the extent that actual production in the future is different from current forecast production based on total proved reserves. Changes to proved reserves could arise due to changes in the factors or assumptions used in estimating reserves, including:

 

· The effect on proved reserves of differences between actual commodity prices and commodity price assumptions

Or

· Unforeseen operational issues

 

Changes are accounted for prospectively.

 

 

Recoverability of oil and gas properties

 

The Group assesses each asset or cash generating unit (CGU) (excluding goodwill, which is assessed annually regardless of indicators) every reporting period to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. Where an indicator of impairment exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is considered to be the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. These assessments require the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term oil prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), discount rates, operating costs, future capital requirements, decommissioning costs, exploration potential, reserves operating performance (which includes production and sales volumes). These estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty. Therefore, there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will impact these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of assets and/or CGUs

 

 

Production start date

The group assesses each well to determine when the well moves into the production stage. This is when the well is substantially completed and ready for intended use. The group considers various criteria in determining the production start date, including but not limited to, results of well testing, the ability of the well to sustain ongoing production, installation of the relevant well infrastructure and receiving the relevant regulatory approvals.

 

When the well moves into the production stage the capitalisation of certain development costs ceases and costs incurred are expensed as a production cost. It also at this point when that the well commences depreciation. Any proceeds received from oil sales prior to the production start date as part of any well testing, are capitalised to the asset.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Fair value for oil and gas assets is generally determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows arising from the continued use of the assets, which includes estimates such as the cost of future expansion plans and eventual disposal, using assumptions that an independent market participant may take into account. Cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Management has assessed its CGUs as being an individual field, which is the lowest level for which cash inflows are largely independent of those of other assets.

 

(e)

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the part is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:

Plant and equipment - over 3 to 10 years

The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

Disposal

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected to be derived from its use or disposal.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognised.

 

(f)

 

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Costs of evaluation, seismic and unsuccessful exploration in the area of interest are expensed as incurred even if activities in this area of interest are continuing. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When a discovered oil or gas field enters the development phase the accumulated exploration and evaluation expenditure is transferred to oil and gas assets - assets in development.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

(g)

Oil and Gas Properties

Oil and gas properties are usually single oil or gas fields being developed for future production or which are in the production phase. Where several individual oil fields are to be produced through common facilities, the individual oil field and the associated production facilities are managed and reported as a single oil and gas asset.

 

Assets in development

When the technical and commercial feasibility of an undeveloped oil or gas field has been demonstrated, the field enters its development phase. The costs of oil and gas assets in the development phase are separately accounted for as tangible assets and include past exploration and evaluation costs, development drilling and plant and equipment and any associated land and buildings. When commercial operation commences the accumulated costs are transferred to oil and gas assets - producing assets.

 

Producing assets

The costs of oil and gas assets in production are separately accounted for as tangible assets and include past exploration and evaluation costs, pre-production development costs and the ongoing costs of continuing to develop reserves for production and to expand or replace plant and equipment and any associated land and buildings. Producing assets are depreciated over proved reserves on a unit of production basis.

 

(h)

Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.

(i)

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.

(j)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(k)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any estimated selling costs.

Cost includes those costs incurred in bringing each component of inventory to its present location and condition.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

(l)

Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and due to their short-term nature are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(m)

Financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities within the scope of AASB 139 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings, plus directly attributable transaction costs. The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings and derivative financial instruments.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives are fair valued using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same; a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques.

 

(n)

 

Share-based payment transactions

 

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to directors and executives.

 

Options

The fair value of options granted to directors and executives is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in contributed equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the vesting period during which the directors and/or executives becomes entitled to the options.

The fair value at grant date is determined using an option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected divided yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

 

Performance Rights

The cost of performance rights are measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo methodology, which considers the incorporation of market based hurdles. Non market conditions are not factored into the fair value of the performance rights at grant. Probability factors are assigned to the vesting expense as to whether non market conditions will be met.

(o)

Revenue recognition

Sales revenue

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and can be measured reliably. Incidental revenue generated during the development stage of an asset, is offset against the carrying value of the asset, rather than recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Interest

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

(p)

Convertible Note

 

A Convertible Note is split into two components: a debt component and a component representing the embedded derivatives in the Convertible Note. The debt component represents the Group's liability for future interest coupon payments and the redemption amount. The embedded derivatives represent the value of the option that note holders have to convert into ordinary shares in the Company.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

(q)

Income tax

The consolidated entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the profit adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

 

(r)

Other taxes

 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

 

 

· where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

 

 

· receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

 

 

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

 

 

Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

 

 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

 

 

(s)

Contributed equity

 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

 

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

 

· costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

 

· the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

 

· other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

 

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

 

 

(u)

Provisions

 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

 

 

Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.

 

 

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

 

 

Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

 

 

Employee leave benefits

 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in provisions in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

 

 

Restoration

 

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the permits.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

 

 

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Both the functional and presentation currency of Jupiter Energy Limited and its Australian subsidiaries are Australian dollars ($). The Singapore subsidiaries' functional currency is United States Dollars which is translated to the presentation currency. The functional currency of the Branch of the Singapore subsidiary is Tenge (see below for consolidated reporting).

 

 

(ii) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

 

 

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

 

 

(iii) Translation of Group Companies' functional currency to presentation currency

The results of the Singapore subsidiaries are translated into Australian Dollars (presentation currency) as at the date of each transaction. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date.

 

Exchange variations resulting from the translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity

 

 

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in the Singapore subsidiaries and its Branch are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. If a Singapore subsidiary was sold, the proportionate share of exchange differences would be transferred out of equity and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

 

 

(w)

Segments

 

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors (the chief operating decision makers) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the executive management team.

 

 

Operating segments are identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers, being the Board of Directors. Currently the Group has only one operating segment, being the Group.

Where funds are borrowed specifically to finance a project, the amount capitalised represents the actual borrowing costs incurred. Where surplus funds are available for a short term out of money borrowed specifically to finance a project, the income generated from the temporary investment of amounts is also capitalised and deducted from the total capitalised borrowing cost. Where the funds used to finance a project form part of general borrowings, the amount capitalised is calculated using a weighted average of rates applicable to relevant general borrowings of the Group during the period.

 

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Even though exploration and evaluation assets can be qualifying assets, they generally do not meet the ―probable economic benefits test and also are rarely debt funded. Any related borrowing costs are therefore generally recognised in profit or loss in the period they are incurred.

 

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

 

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise receivables, borrowings, payables, cash and short-term deposits.

 

Risk Exposures and Responses

 

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide finance for the Group's operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk.

 

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews the risks identified below, including the setting of limits for trading in derivatives, hedging cover of foreign currency and interest rate risk, credit allowances, and future cash flow forecast projections.

 

Interest rate risk

 

The Group's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is only on short term deposits and cash and cash equivalents.

 

At balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk:

Credit risk

 

 

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties fail to perform as contracted.

 

 

Part of the Group's receivables balances are represented by GST input tax credits, which are received on a quarterly basis, and deposits held in trust in respect of leases for office premises.

 

 

With respect to credit risk arising from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables, the Group's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

 

 

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group.

 

 

Liquidity Risk

 

The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, finance leases and hire purchase contracts.

The contractual maturities of the Group's financial liabilities are shown in the table below. Undiscounted cash flows for the respective years are presented.

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)

 

Management and the Board monitor the Group's liquidity on the basis of expected cash flow. The information that is prepared by senior management and reviewed by the Board includes monthly and annual cash flow budgets.

 

Fair value

The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:

Level 1 - the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2 - the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3 - the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

All of the Group's other financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost, where the carrying value approximates the fair value.

The fair value of the derivative was determined using the level 2 method.

 

Equity Price Risk

 

The Group has exposure in equity risk through the convertible notes, which is susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the Company's share price.

 

At the reporting date, the exposure to market price risk at fair value was $763,177. A decrease in the company's share price by 10% could have an impact of approximately $76,318 on profit and loss or equity attributable to the Group, depending on whether the decline is significant or prolonged. An increase in the company's share price by 10% could have an impact of approximately $76,318 on profit and loss or equity attributable to the Group, depending on whether the decline is significant or prolonged.

On 28 March 2013, Jupiter entered into a second unsecured loan agreement with Mobile Energy Limited. The Loan is for $US3 million via 3 Promissory Notes, each with exactly the same terms and each with a face value of $US1m. The Loan was repayable on 31 March 2014 or at such time that the Company raised additional funding of a minimum of $20 million via debt, equity or other funding. The Loan had a coupon rate of 15% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, with the first interest payment due on 30 June 2013. Subsequent to year end, the Promissory Notes were converted into Convertible Notes (Series B), refer to note 27 for further details of the terms and conditions.

 

Convertible Notes

The net cash proceeds of the fundraising was $US5.7m, following the repayment of US$3m of the December 2013 Promissory Notes held by Mobile Energy Limited and the payment of a fee of 3% of the proceeds of the raising ($US270,000) by the Company to Waterford Petroleum Limited for its role in arranging the funding.

 

Subsequent to year end, the Convertible Notes (Series A) were converted into Convertible Notes (Series B), refer to note 27 for further details of the terms and conditions.

 

 

Valuation of Convertible Notes

 

The Notes have an embedded derivative in the form of a call option for the holder to convert the Notes at US$1.25 into Jupiter ordinary shares.

 

The convertible equity feature of the Notes has been separated from the liability component of the Notes for financial reporting purposes. The call option to convert the notes into shares does not meet the definition of an equity instrument, as the exercise price is denominated in foreign currency to the company's functional currency. The convertible call option is classified as a Derivative liability and measured at fair value through the income statement.

 

The Derivative component of the Notes was valued using the Black Scholes option valuation methodology. The Black Scholes option valuation methodology calculates the expected benefit from acquiring the shares outright less the present value of paying the exercise price for the options at expected exercise date.

Capital risk management

When managing capital, management's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity.

Performance Rights

 

The Jupiter Energy Performance Rights Plan was established whereby Jupiter Energy Limited may, at the discretion of the Jupiter Energy Limited Board, grant performance rights over unissued shares of Jupiter Energy Limited to directors, executives, employees and consultants of the consolidated entity. The rights are issued for nil consideration, will not be quoted on the ASX, cannot be transferred and are granted at the discretion of the Jupiter Energy Board.

 

The Performance Rights Plan was approved by shareholders at the November 2009 Annual General Meeting.

 

On 9 November 2012, 5,066,666 performance rights were approved by shareholders to directors and executives. The number of performance rights vest in proportion to the percentage increase in share price at vesting date $0.919 (minimum vesting price). For 100% of the performance rights to vest, the share price of the Company needs to reach $1.47. In respect of the Vesting Condition, the percentage increase in the Share price of the Company will be calculated by reference to the volume weighted average price of Shares in the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Vesting Date (31st December 2013). No performance rights vest if the calculated share price is less than the minimum vesting price at vesting date.

 

 

The fair value of performance rights granted to directors is estimated as at the grant date using a Monte Carol simulation option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.

The following table lists the inputs to the models for the period ended 30 June 2013:

27. EVENTS OCCURING AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

 

Reserve Upgrade

 

On 11 September 2013 the Company announced the details of three independent reserve estimations that had been carried out on the various accumulations on the Block 31 permit.

 

Two of these reports were State Reserve Reports prepared by independent consulting firm RES. The first of these reports was the Akkar East Reserves Report and this report was prepared as part of the process of moving the Akkar East field into Full Field Development. This review of the Akkar East field was a follow on to the 2012 Preliminary Reserves report prepared by RES submitted as part of the process required to enable the J-50, J-51, J-52 and J-53 wells to be granted their respective Trial Production Licences (TPL's). The Preliminary Reserves report was approved by the Kazakh authorities in June 2012.

 

The second report was the Southern Extension area (known locally as West Zhetybai) Preliminary Reserves Report and this report is the first step towards the granting of TPL's for the J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells.

 

In summary, the Akkar East accumulation covers the area delineated by the J-51, J-52 and J-53 wells and the Oil-In-Place (OIP) for this area has been estimated at ~129 mmbbls with recoverable reserves estimated at ~32.6 mmbbls. The C1 reserves have been estimated at ~10.7 mmbbls and C2 reserves at ~21.9 mmbbls. The recoverable reserves are based on a recovery factor of 27.2%.

 

The J-50 well is part of the Akkar North accumulation and the estimated recoverable reserves for this area are ~8.6 mmbbls (C1 - ~4 mmbbls and C2 - ~4.6 mmbbls) bringing the total recoverable reserves in the area delineated by the wells J-50, 51, 52 and 53 to ~41.2 mmbbls; C1 reserves of ~14.7 mmbbls and C2 reserves of ~26.5 mmbbls.

 

Estimated reserves from the T31, T32 (both formerly known as the Z Sand), T2A and T2B horizons were used in these calculations. The Akkar East Reserves Report has now been submitted to the relevant authorities; the approval process is expected to take three months.

 

The West Zhetybai accumulation covers the area delineated by the J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells and reserves have been evaluated for the T31, T32, T2A and T2B horizons. The OIP for this area has been estimated at ~232 mmbbls (from all four horizons) with recoverable reserves estimated at ~61.2 mmbbls. The C1 reserves have been estimated at ~2.3 mmbbls and C2 reserves at ~58.9 mmbbls; the recoverable reserves are based on a recovery factor of 27.2%.

 

The higher proportion of C2 to C1 reserves indicates the need for (i) further testing of the J-55 and J-59 wells and (ii) general appraisal of the area which may include the drilling of additional wells.

 

RES has submitted the West Zhetybai Preliminary Reserves Report to the relevant authorities; approval is expected to take three months.

 

The third report was a Competent Persons Report (CPR) that was prepared using the Society of Petroleum Engineers Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) classification system; reserves are defined as those quantities of oil which are estimated to be commercially recoverable from a known accumulation from a given date forward.

 

McDaniel & Associates (McDaniel) were engaged to complete this independent reserves audit of only the mid Triassic horizon as identified by wells J-50, J-51, J-52, J-53, J-55, J-58 and J-59.

 

One of the underlying differences between the Kazakh State Reserves classification system and PRMS classification system is that PRMS also considers the commercial uncertainties rather than only geological attributes and therefore the lack of established commercial oil flow from the J-53, J-55 and J-59 wells resulted in the reserve calculations based primarily on production from the T2B horizon from wells J-50, J-51, J-52 and J-58.

 

 

 

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

 

27. EVENTS OCCURING AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE (continued)

 

The results, by reserve category, were:

 

· Proved Reserves: 1P 9.7 mmbbls

· Proved plus Probable Reserves: 2P 19.2 mmbbls

· Proved plus Probable plus Possible: 3P 28.7 mmbbls

As part of the work undertaken by McDaniel to establish the commercial threshold of the mid-Triassic reserves, the Net Present Value of the proved+probable reserves using a discounted cashflow model with a discount rate of 10% was calculated as $US304.6m (~$US15.9/bbl) pre-tax and $US222.5m (~$US11.6/bbl) after tax.

 

Shareholders are encouraged to read the 11 September 2013 announcement in full as it contains more details on the differing reserve classification methodologies used by RES in preparing the State Reserve Reports and by McDaniel in preparing the CPR.

 

In summary, the results of both independent reserve audits confirmed the prospectivity of the Block 31 permit.

 

Capital Raising

 

On 23 September 2013, the Company announced details regarding the issue of $US6.5million of Series B Convertible Notes, issued on 20 September 2013. The key terms of these Convertible Notes were as follows:

 

· Term: 3 years

· Conversion Price: $US1.25 per share (maximum of 5.2 million shares may be issued)

· Coupon Rate: 12% per annum, with the interest accruing from and including the Issue Date until the earlier of the Conversion Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date of the Note.

· The Convertible Notes may be redeemed by Jupiter at any time with a minimum of 12 months interest payable if the Convertible Notes are redeemed within the 1st 12 months of their Term

· The issue of the Convertible Notes is carried out under Jupiter's 15% capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1

 

The breakdown of subscriptions for the Convertible Notes is as follows:

 

· Waterford Petroleum Limited: $US1.5m

· Mid Ocean Limited $US0.5m

· Mobile Energy Limited: $US4m

· Other Private Investors: $US0.5m

 

The net cash proceeds of the fundraising was $US3.305m, following the repayment of $US3m of Promissory Notes held by Mobile Energy Limited and the payment of a fee of 3% of the proceeds of the raising ($US195,000) by the Company to Waterford Petroleum Limited for its role in arranging the funding.

 

The net cash proceeds of the fundraising will be used for the following purposes:

 

· Remedial work on J-53: ~$US150,000;

· Further testing of the J-59 well: ~$US350,000 and

· General working capital: ~$US2.805m.

 

The holders of Series A Convertible Notes issued on 31 May 2013 have also agreed to convert their notes to Series B Convertible Notes, effective from 20 September 2013.
